Well, as we said (more or less) at the end of the previous post, at the Karma Station, Rebirth (Haumea) was flying high and pointing Heavenward at the top of a Kite while Challenged (T-Squared) by the Dilemma (Opposition) of How Much Truth (Aletheia) can we stand to Integrate into our New Beginning (Klotho), while Grounded (the tail of the Kite) by Revelation of our Soul’s Purpose (Eris-Uranus). Resolution of the Challenge is much aided (Diamond Star) by Cooperation (Sextile) between Fear (Sedna) and Self-Love (Sappho).
In the chart Haumea doesn’t look like it’s soaring much; it’s in the lower left. The orientation of the chart is determined by the time zone and time of day. On the Left Coast of North America, Haumea was overhead at 11:30pm PDT on 7 April, while the chart is for the moment of Karma’s Station at 6pm. We focus on Energy, as embodied by the Angles and Configurations. In this regard, Energy is Exalting Haumea, no matter where She is in the circle.
That’s an interesting concept, Fear Cooperating with Self-Love to midwife a Rebirth of our Soul’s Purpose into the Ego. In fact, Fear Cooperating with Self-Love by itself is an interesting concept. Remember though that it’s not any part of the Cosmos that’s Negative or Positive, it’s our Perception that can make that part seem one or the other. And of course the Dualistic mind dearly Loves to Separate, Evaluate, and Pronounce, whereas in Real Life it’s just It Is As It Is, the Judgments are our own, almost always having to do with our Held Emotions. We’ve been Learning lately how Fear is just Power, and a lot of it – as our Kegels have been demonstrating, eh?
Let’s look at that Grounding Chord, Uranus-Eris. This is a new Cycle that lasts almost a century. The Initiation was 8 June 2016 (around 10pm PDT) at 24 Aries, “Blown inward by the wind, the curtains of an open window take the shape of a cornucopia: Openness to the influx of spiritual energies.” With less than five Degrees of Separation, this Cycle is just beginning to burrow Underground. It won’t emerge into mainstream Culture until 2039 (the Waxing Square), another two decades.
This illustrates one of the most important elements of Self-Sovereignty. If we’re mirroring our Culture or copying our betters instead of following our Heart, we’ll be deep in Denial about the ongoing Influx of Spiritual Energies. Like the sign on the wall where I used to work, “If you’re not part of the Solution, you’re part of the Problem.” This first quarter of a Cycle is where Foundations are built – by those who Respect the Energy whether Weasel News promotes it or not.
Which takes us back to the first chart in the previous post, the 15-19 Degree chart. The Initiation of the Moon by Lilith occurred two hours after the Karma Station, only a Degree and a half from being exactly one Sign away. Moon Cycles only last a month, but they’re very much In-Your-Face, as any woman can aver. The Cycle was born at 17 Capricorn, “A repressed woman finds a psychological release in nudism: The escape from bondage to social inhibitions and a reliance upon the wisdom of the body.” This symbol is about the Degree, not the Moon or Lilith – the reiteration of theme is as serendipitous as it is remarkable.
This foretells a major Letting Go of Unconscious Codependent Patterns over the next month, perhaps at the price of having to confront Held Emotions. Held, or Forbidden, Emotions are those which guard the sanctity of our Karma. They’re almost always Unconscious, since unless we’re one of those people who’s fond of saying “I’m not one of those people who…” then we repeat those Patterns without even noticing that we’re doing it; it’s just the Way the World Is to us.
The Angle between Karma and the Initiation, an Unx (one Sign – “Unx” means one twelfth), tells us that we’re peering into the doorway to the Unconscious. As such, our most Powerful tool is probably PIAVA (Prayer, Intention, Asking, Vizualising, Affirming, plus several extensions – see https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava-review/). When we’re dealing with the Unconscious, Dynamic or Masculine methods of Creativity just create the sort of messes Shakespeare and Homer loved to write about. We need Magnetic or Feminine methods.
The Unconscious is in many many ways a Wild Animal, and we don’t tame a Wild Animal with a leghold trap. We patiently Offer Her Food at a neutral location, and sit patiently quite a distance away, with our gaze perpendicular to the Critter, keeping our Expectations low. Every several days we try moving a half-inch closer, while watching out of our corner-eye to see if our Intended is nervous. If She is, we back off a little the next day.
She knows we’re there, and our presence is a counterpoint to our Gift, a condition so to speak. She knows that this is a Negotiation, and that She has the upper hand. She makes these kinds of Negotiations every day, for Survival, with other Critters big and small, and She’s an Expert at the Art of the Deal. So we follow the PIAVA recipe – Ask (Offer), Change the Subject (at least pretend to look the other way), and Pay Attention (did She accept my moving closer?). Maybe something like…
“I Wonder What I might do to Prepare myself for meeting my Karma head-on.”
Or, using the more audacious Command version (https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/category/manifestation/piava/theta/) because it has the advantage of instant feedback, so we can work in many iterations in a short amount of time…
“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that I meet my Held Emotions Bravely, Lovingly, and Gently. It Is Done, It is Done, It is Done. Thank you, God/Goddess. …(deep Breath)… Show me.”
The other end of the Opposition to the Stationary asteroid Karma is Asbolus – the sort of Intuition that leads us to Experiences which Create Wisdom. That’s actually Perfect for dealing with Held Emotions, but remember that our Karma does not Grasp us, we Grasp it. And, being Conscious, we have Choice. So we can Choose to Encounter Wisdom Bravely, Lovingly, and Gently, even if – or especially if – we don’t know yet what it is we’re about to Encounter.
Using Theta Commands will give us clues so we can be better Prepared, though when we’re dealing with the Unconscious we always need to Expect Surprises. Having our Surprises served with sides of Love and Gentleness, and Bravery, will be a boon. When Theta gives us clues that trigger Emotion (as is likely in this case), don’t forget Tapping and Kegels, and of course Breathing.
The Sabian Symbol suggests that Shame may be involved, as that’s a frequent Reaction to Nudity. Shame is one of the most Difficult Emotions, if not the most Difficult Emotion, to stay Present for. It’s highly skilled at totally overwhelming the Present Moment and the Ego. We can be Hypnotized just by hearing the name that our Shamers called us. It would probably behoove to Meditate on every recollection we have of Shame, and maybe include…
“God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that I Bravely, Lovingly, and Gently stay Present, Grounded, and Strong when Shame threatens to Arise, and even more so when it actually does Arise. It Is Done, It is Done, It is Done. Thank you, God/Goddess. …(deep Breath)… Show me.”
Practice it, so you Recognize it instantly and Respond Lovingly to your Self and to the Stress in your Body. It’s your Karma, it’s not something you haven’t Experienced before. And you know in advance, if you remember, that this is a Flushback, not a re-enactment. Karma is a movie. You’re either in the audience, or sucked into the screen. Let the Emotions wash over you, but stay in the audience this time, K? The more you Practice, the Easier it gets.
